At the peak of the mountain, the great roc stood there, gazing at the heavens, exuding a feeling that one couldn't look up to it.
Many demonic beasts would come here frequently to worship the great roc king. Staring at the great roc in the sky, all the demonic beasts could feel the loneliness of their king.
He was supreme, peering down at all the demonic beasts, accepting their worship. He stared at the heavens, as though he wanted to soar into the clouds one day, breaking through the heavens and leaving this world.
The great roc's wings were extremely low, crashing into the heavens and dying. If there was a great roc that could break through the heavens, how majestic would that be?
Today, a raging wind gusted. From afar, a boundless demonic might gushed forth. The great roc continued to stare at the heavens, his eyes unwavering, as though he was the king of the world. In his eyes, there was only the heavens, and he no longer placed any of the ancient demons in his eyes.
"ROAR!"
An enraged roar rang out. Before the mountain peak, a terrifying silhouette that wasn't any smaller than the great roc appeared.
Scarlet wings, a malevolent head, sharp horns, and cold eyes. This was none other than the king of another demon region, the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon.
He was a descendant of the demonic dragons of the eight directions, and the blood of the demonic gods flowed through his veins. But even for him, this was the first time he saw a true great roc.
"So you are the king of this place." A cold voice rang out from the mouth of the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon. Its body was as heavy as a small mountain, and it was unknown how heavy it was.
The great roc shifted its gaze over once more, landing on the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon. The coldness in its eyes caused even the demonic beasts to tremble. The demonic beasts that followed behind the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon could all feel the coldness and arrogance of the great roc king.
"Before it came here, did it slaughter any of the demons in my territory?" Qin Wentian faintly asked.
"Nope." Below, a demonic beast beneath Qin Wentian replied. The Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon roared, "This king disdains it."
The Great Roc stared at his opponent and coldly spat out, "Submit, or die."
The Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon let out a low-sounding roar. Abruptly, the Heavens and Earth trembled violently, as though the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. The mountain peak Qin Wentian was on was also trembling violently, as though it was on the verge of collapse. A terrifying power of the Earth enveloped this entire space.
Astral Demonic Beasts were different from humans. Astral Demonic Beasts were innately proficient in certain domains of energy. This Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon was born with fire-type and earth-type attributes, and was able to absorb the Astral Energy from constellations in the nine heavenly layers. There was no need for them to form an innate connection with their constellations. This was an innate talent unique to them.
Furthermore, the Scarlet Winged Earth Dragon was extremely powerful, be it in terms of strength or speed. In terms of strength, it could suppress many demonic beasts of the same level.
There were also many powerful Astral Demonic Beasts that had their own innate innate abilities. And as their strength grew stronger, their innate abilities would also appear, allowing them to use them.
The dependence of demonic beasts on their innate abilities was much stronger compared to humans. Hence, the stronger demonic beasts, such as the eight demonic divinities and their bloodline relatives, would all be able to cultivate to a higher level. As for those demonic beasts with weaker innate abilities, they would only be able to remain at the very bottom. Unless they had an extremely great opportunity or a heaven-defying effort, as well as some luck.
The eyes of the Great Roc stared at the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon. A terrifying demonic king's aura gushed forth from him. That was the aura of a monarch descending from the heavens, as though the power of his bloodline was ignited within his body.
The body of the Great Roc seemed to be enveloped by a layer of the halo of a king. That was the power of his bloodline, surging crazily.
The huge eyes of the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon narrowed as its countenance turned incredibly unsightly. This Great Roc had such a powerful bloodline, as though he was an innate monarch. Was this the power of his bloodline?
The halo of the king grew even more resplendent. The aura of the Great Roc rose madly, actually breaking through to the next level, exuding the aura of a peak-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign. Spreading its wings, the Great Roc floated in the air, its eyes staring down at the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon as a supreme king's might gushed forth.
This kind of pressure was the pressure a high-stage demon king exerted on a low-stage demonic beast. Absolute suppression. This aura caused the body of the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon to tremble violently. Not only because of the strength of the Great Roc, but also because of the sensitivity of demonic beasts. The Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon could clearly sense the nobility of the Great Roc. This Great Roc was a demonic beast of a higher level than it, an innate monarch.
"I'll say it again. Submit or die."
The Great Roc coldly spoke. His voice was like a bolt of thunder, directly resonating in the mind of the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon. Right now, the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon was at the same level as the Great Roc, yet it could clearly feel the pressure of a higher being.
Staring into the eyes of the Great Roc, the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon felt as though it was looking at the sovereign of the skies. Gradually, its eyes no longer dared to look directly at the Great Roc as it lowered its arrogant head.
All the demonic beasts below were incomparably shocked when they saw this scene.
"I'm willing to submit." Upon sensing the increasingly powerful king's aura, the Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon spoke. As the sound of its voice faded, the Great Roc's aura dissipated. It no longer exuded the aura of a king, completely losing its temper.
The hearts of all the demonic beasts pounded as they stared at the Great Roc in the air. The Great Roc was still floating there, its sharp eyes sweeping across the crowd. None of the demonic beasts dared to look directly at it.
As for the demonic beasts in the Great Roc's territory, their hearts were all filled with agitation as their demonic blood surged. This was their king, a true king. Even before the battle even started, the Great Roc had already submitted to their king. How imposing was this?
"Since you are the demon king of a domain, and you've entered my territory without killing a single demon, I shall confer you the position of a demon general under my command. When I'm not around, you shall govern the demons on my behalf. However, you have to abide by my rules. From now onwards, the demonic beasts of the two regions shall be unified, killing each other shall be strictly regulated. Are you willing to accept this?"
The Great Roc's voice was cold. The Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon nodded, "Demon general obeys your command."
"My ambitions don't lie here. This demon region will be returned to you sooner or later. Now, go." The voice of the Great Roc was cold and imposing, causing the demonic beasts to be unable to comprehend it. However, they could faintly sense that the Great Roc Demon King had an even higher ambition.
His target was that patch of clouds, the sovereign of the skies.
The Scarlet-Winged Earth Dragon was conferred the title of 'Demon General', it left this place to reorganize the demonic beasts in its territory. The silhouette of the Great Roc returned to the peak of the ancient mountain and stood there, staring up at the skies.
The demonic beasts below all stared at this scene, they would never know the loneliness of their king.
He was originally a human, but after he came to the Demon World, he became a king.
Time flowed by, the autumn leaves dyed the forest red and yellow. Within the forest and mountain range, leaves drifted down unceasingly, causing the place to appear extremely lonely. In the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, the current ruler of the two regions was the Great Roc Demon King.
However, their Demon King still stood there like a lightning bolt, his lonely silhouette seemingly eternal. Every time night fell, one could see the Astral Light cascading down from the skies, cascading onto the body of the Great Roc Demon King. The Astral Light was exceptionally bright, causing the lonely silhouette of the Great Roc Demon King to become even clearer.
Fairy Qingmei didn't appear again, Qing 'er's whereabouts were also unknown. The only thing Qin Wentian could think of now was to grow stronger and stronger.
In the outside world, with regards to Qin Wentian's disappearance, the majority of people believed that he had already died. The Pill Emperor Hall also didn't make an appearance to discuss this matter. However, the strength of his friends gradually grew stronger, and they firmly believed that Qin Wentian hadn't died yet.
In the Mystic Moon Sect of the Spirit Continent, a silhouette clad in black robes could be seen. That exquisite figure was perfectly outlined by the tight-fitting black robes. Bai Qing had just returned from a secret location, only to learn that Qin Wentian might have died in the hands of the Pill Emperor Hall. Upon hearing this news, not a single tear fell from her eyes. She only stood there and stared into the horizons for a total of seven days and seven nights, not moving a single step.
"Little lass Qing." Behind Bai Qing, Autumn Snow's eyes reddened as she called out to her. However, it was as though Bai Qing didn't hear her, she continued staring into the horizons.
The wind gusted by, fluttering the robes of the two maidens.
Up in the skies, a gust of cold wind gusted by. Bai Qing's lips trembled, and finally, a single teardrop flowed down from the corner of her eyes.
"Wentian gege, if you die, even if the Devil Dao rules the world, so what?"
Bai Qing's heart was filled with grief. She had cultivated to such an extent, not hesitating to injure herself. Why?
"If you die, what's the point of burying the entire Pill Emperor Hall?" Bai Qing murmured. After which, she inclined her head and stared at the skies. Her eyes were no longer beautiful, but were incomparably dark and cold, as though they came from the depths of hell.
The terrifying Frigid Devil Energy permeated the surroundings, Autumn Snow only felt a bone-piercing coldness as she hurriedly retreated, no longer able to stand by Bai Qing's side.
That devilish might enveloped Bai Qing, transforming into an even more terrifying devilish intent. Her silhouette flickered as she soared up into the skies, flying towards the horizons.
"Qing`er!" Autumn Snow called out, only to hear a voice drifting over from behind, "Let her be. She has cultivated the path of the devil in her entire life, and as such, her devilish intent grew even stronger. Whether it's a blessing or a calamity, it all depends on her luck."
… …
Outside of the Demon Mountain City, in the boundless forests and mountains, in the misty area, a group of silhouettes finally appeared.
The old man who entered the Misty Lands back then, as well as Qing 'er and the rest, all walked out.
In the Misty Lands, everything was calm and tranquil. However, nobody would have thought that in a place far away from here, where experts were as common as the clouds, a storm of commotion was stirred up.
The Great Nirvana Immortal Art was stolen by someone, inciting a towering flame of fury from a terrifying power. It was unknown how many experts had fallen, and the transcendent powers of Grand Xia were all annihilated in the blink of an eye.
Nobody knew that the cause of this storm was actually because of a certain someone in the Grand Xia Empire that was so far away from them.
Qing 'er slowly walked forwards. Behind her, the old man halted his steps as he called out, "Princess."
Qing 'er's footsteps paused for a moment.
"Don't forget what Princess promised me. This old slave will lead my clansmen away now." That old man bowed slightly. Qing`er lightly nodded her head. After that, she continued walking forward.
Not long after, Qing 'er's silhouette vanished from sight. Beside the old man, a white-robed maiden stood respectfully, as though waiting for orders.
"Is everything you've investigated true?" The old man asked calmly.
"Yes. Since Princess wants this method, it must be because Qin Wentian escaped from the Pill Emperor Hall. However, we have no idea who saved him." The maiden replied, her words causing the old man to frown. "His surname is Qin … That man named Qin Yuanfeng shouldn't be related to him, right?"
